Developmental Screening
Developmental Monitoring (Surveillance)
Developmental monitoring (surveillance) allows you to observe your child’s growth and changes over time. As a caregiver, you can practice this by observing how your child plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves. To help track your child’s development, you can use the brief checklists provided by the CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early (LTSAE). LTSAE provides 12 checklists ranging from 2 months to 5 years of age. These materials are free and can be printed or downloaded.
Developmental Screening
Developmental Screenings take a closer look at how your child is developing. Help Me Grow Maine uses the Ages & Stages Questionnaire® (ASQ) for this. We also use the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional® (ASQ SE-2). These are simple questionnaires that focus on your child’s development. They look at language, movement, thinking, behavior, and emotions.

ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires range from 1 month to 6 years of age. There are different questions on each ASQ:SE -2, based on your child’s current age. The questions look at autonomy, compliance, and adaptive functioning. They also look at self-regulation, interaction, and social communication.
